will protect the assets from creditors until a full liquidation hearing takes
place. Then the assets will be sold to create a return for investors and
creditors.

first appointment of its kind. These proceedings have paved the way for similar
applications in the future, should the need arise,” said James Hyne, head of
corporate recovery and insolvency at Charles Russell.
